Madam Messenger

How are you the aggrieved
right now madam messenger?
All this chaos was created by 
the careless flapping of your lips 
Wagged your tongue all nilly willy
and stirred up a storm in the process 
What exactly were you expecting 
when you poked a sleeping dragon?
A rotten hog is bound to raise a stink 
when it finally gets debowled 
You willingly roasted us in its stench
Who should we grill if not the bearer 
of the scalpel 
Don't shoot the messenger you say
But you happily leapt on the privilege 
to shoot your mouth right then 
Why give unsolicited advice 
on what you haven't experienced 
Do you even believe what you preach
Suddenly you are cowering back 
and acting fragile 
And we instantly get crowned the 
aggressors as usual 
Are you feeling the pain of disparity 
on our behalf madam?
Why are you the victim in this?
Were you forced to bring us this
false hope dressed up as an opportunity?
Or maybe you were simply lured in
by the lucrative reward you'll reap
from playing the role of a messiah 
For a cause you clearly couldn't care 
less about, no doubt 
What kind of person does that?
Best choose one side of the struggle 
and stick by it from now on madam
you can't serve two Gods at the same time 
If you feel porcelain fragile 
Then refrain from spreading 
any messages that you can't defend 
Its as simple as that
